after the cut...
"It is not only
insulting for Mrs. Jonathan to describe Buhari as “brain-dead, it is also
demeaning of her status as the President’s wife to speak in the manner with
which she did. It was discourteous and inexcusable for a wife of any President
with a modicum of decency to make such a false and infantile pronouncement
about the health status of another man on account of politics.
The APC Presidential Campaign
Organization similarly observed that much as indecent and disgraceful as the
outbursts of Mrs. Jonathan was in an attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of
Nigerians about her husband’s incompetence to lead the country, it is typical
of the PDP’s modus operandi to confuse Nigerians with mundane issues instead of
the issues of corruption, for which her husband has achieved an unbeaten
record; his appalling lack of capacity to secure life and property of citizens
and a glaring incompetence in dealing with the challenges facing the country.”
”the statement read The statement also said it has observed that the first lady
had in recent times continued to make inciting comments during any of the PDP
women campaigns According to APC, Mrs. Jonathan had made statements “invoking
violence like she did in Calabar over the weekend, when she urged the PDP
supporters to stone all those canvassing for change.”.
The statement called on President Jonathan to caution his
wife.
